250 Orthodontic Slots Available Yearly
“The dental college accepts about 250 patients each year for orthodontic treatment,” said Dr. Gayle Glenn, clinical associate professor in the Department of Orthodontics. “Spots fill quickly, so please act fast. We offer traditional braces for children and adults, plus clear aligners like Invisalign for patients who are candidates for that type of treatment.”
To qualify for screening, prospective patients must:
• Be at least 7 years old
• Have good oral hygiene habits
• Receive professional dental care on a routine basis
• Be able to commit to monthly orthodontic appointments scheduled during regular business hours
Candidates from throughout Dallas-Fort Worth and the surrounding areas are welcome to apply. Once accepted into the orthodontic program, patients must be seen at regular four- to six-week intervals. Appointments are generally one to two hours long. Payment plans are available.
